Former Australian leg-spinner and Rajasthan Royals [https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/news/warne-backs-rahane-to-return-to-indian-limited-over-squads/articleshow/64161419.cms] mentor Shane Warne [https://www.essentiallysports.com/shane-warne-coach-rajasthan-royals-2018/] is thoroughly impressed by Royals player Sanju Samson. The 23-year old has had a great run in the ongoing 11th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Now, Warne has said that the Rajasthan Royals’ wicketkeeper-batsman could be the next superstar of the Indian cricket. Samson has scored a total of 379 runs in just 12 games for the Rajasthan Royals, averaging 34.45. RR mentor, Warne cannot help gushing over “new rockstar” Samson. “He’s good against pace and spin in all conditions and I think he’s going to be the next superstar of Indian cricket. He’s the new rock star, Sanju Samson, that’s for sure. He’s an outstanding player and he’s a quality international cricketer,” said the Australian. Sanju Samson [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/381108-sanju-samson-rr-raise-300x171.jpg]Sanju Samson So far, Sanju Samson has had one international appearance during a T20I match against Zimbabwe in 2015. The 48-year old Australian has insisted that the Rajasthan Royals youngster and Delhi Daredevils’ Rishabh Pant are rare talents. He truly believes that the two players deserve a chance in the national side. “India at the moment are blessed with some riches of talent. I think our man, Sanju Samson, is right up there with (Rishabh) Pant. I think those two guys are probably the two best young Indian batsmen I’ve seen in a long, long time,” the former leg-spinner said. The inaugural champions, Rajasthan Royals, have won their last three IPL matches this season. These wins were bolstered by three consecutive ‘man of the match’ performances by England batsman Jos Buttler. The Rajasthan Royals will now lock horns with Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday, 16th May at 8pm. They currently sit 5th on the IPL table and are pitched in a death match of sorts. The winner of Tuesday’s match will qualify for the IPL 2018 plaoffs 

Rajasthan Royals mentor and Australian bowling legend, Shane Warne holds a
strong opinion that his team's ward, Sanju Samson can become India's next rising
star in the future

IPL History

IPL 2019 is almost upon us and the fans are gearing up for season 12 of the cash-rich tournament. This year, 8 teams will be contesting the league and vying for the title.

The series kicks off on the 23rd of March, through April and ends on May 19th. The opening match will be defending champions, Chennai Super Kings against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium.

The Super Kings are currently the most successful IPL team along with the Mumbai Indians, with three wins each. Kolkata are next with 2 wins. The inaugural winners were the Rajasthan Royals back in 2008.

Tournament Format?

The IPL schedule 2019 is planned in such a way that only the dates for the first two weeks has been released. However, owing to the 2019 general elections, there may be further changes.

Just like in the English Premier League and every other football league, each team plays their opponent twice. Once in their own home ground and once in their opponent's home ground. In simpler terms, CSK are facing RCB in Chennai on Saturday. The next time the two meet, it will be in Bangalore.

However, with the general elections looming, it is more than likely that this format will be thrown for a loop.?Instead, some matches will be held at neutral venues for security reasons.

Teams

There are 8 teams contesting the 2019 IPL season. They are, the Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kings XI Punjab, Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals. Delhi were formerly known as the Daredevils, but ahead of the coming season, they felt a need for a change.

There were also a fair number of former teams as well, who have now become defunct. They are, the Deccan Chargers, who were succeeded by the Sunrisers Hyderabad. They were part of the original teams, but dissolved after 4 years.

Next came the Kochi Tuskers Kerala, who joined in 2010 lasted only till 2011. The Pune Warrior India debuted around the same time as Kochi but managed to hold out until 2014 before dissolving. Then in 2016, after Chennai and Rajasthan were banned for 2 years, the Gujarat Lions and the Rising Pune Supergiant arose from their ashes. Sadly, they too were dissolved when CSK and RR returned to the fray in 2018.

Locations

There was a lot of speculation surrounding hosting the IPL amid the Indian general elections. Rumours were abuzz that IPL 2019 could be held abroad just like in 2009 and 2014 respectively.

However, the BCCI later confirmed that the tournament will remain in India alongside the elections. Their plan is to schedule a few matches on neutral venues on certain days to avoid conflict.

One thing is for sure, the crescendo surrounding the league will soon reach a fever pitch and the fans are eager to get things started.

How will things pan out this season? Will CSK or MI break the deadlock? Will KKR make it a three-way tie? Will it be some team else? Will RCB finally lift the trophy? Will the name change really mean a change of fortune for Delhi Capitals?
